SBA MODERATION NSC GRADE 12 (2012) [A] MODERATION 1. Moderation Guidelines

Moderation is a process of teachers sharing their expectations of the performance of learners and their understanding of standards with each other in order to improve the consistency of their assessment decisions. It is the process of ensuring that the same assessment standards are applied to learners from all schools.

1.1 Pre-moderation

Pre-moderation is the process of quality assuring a task prior to it being administered to the learners. It involves establishing whether the learning outcomes taught are being assessed and whether the task conforms to the difficulty levels required. This can be conducted by the senior teacher / HOD of the school / District Subject Moderators.

1.2 Moderation

After the assessment task has been written by the learner the learner’s task must be moderated by the senior teacher /HOD/District Subject Moderators.

1.3 Post-moderation (feedback)

After moderation has been completed, the senior teacher / HOD / District Subject Moderators must provide feedback to the teacher:

a) Identify issues related to pupil performance, curriculum coverage and teaching

and learning b) Feedback should be used as a platform to discuss expectations and

interpretations in order to ascertain fair, valid and reliable assessments.

2 Moderation Processes 2.1 The Moderation Unit will

a) coordinate the Oral, SBA and PAT moderation processes for Grade 12s and external moderation by DBE and Umalusi.

b) collect quality assured computerized mark sheets for final capturing. c) analyse moderation reports sent by Districts and Curriculum Directorate.

2.2 Curriculum Development and Support Directorate The Provincial Subject Coordinator together with District Subject Advisors will a) identify the tasks to be moderated for each phase. b) design a subject specific moderation tool. c) compile a composite report for each phase of moderation. d) submit a final report on SBA moderation to be issued to schools in 2013. e) coordinate the moderation in the small subjects.


2.3 The Three Levels of Moderation To ensure all marks are fair, valid and reliable, moderation must take place at school, district and provincial level: [A] SCHOOL MODERATION

Internal moderation conducted by the HOD/Subject Head takes place continuously throughout the year. The Department of Basic Education has noted that there is limited evidence of School-Based moderation done by HODs/Subject Heads.

The School Management Team (SMT) and School Assessment Team (SAT) must ensure that all moderation is directed towards the final submission of valid, fair and reliable SBA results. The Principal must ensure that the school conducts the following:

a) Pre-moderation/Quality assurance of tasks before they are administered to the learners

b) Moderation (remarking) of a sample of high, middle and low performers of all teachers teaching the subject in the grade.

c) Post-moderation (feedback) d) Adjustment of marks/transferring of marks onto working mark sheets (record

sheet) e) Record keeping f) Irregularities – SAIC g) Appeals

In those schools where there is only one educator for the subject, the internal school moderation will have to be conducted by a teacher/HOD of another school. Annexure J (Evidence of school moderation) should be completed.

The schools will at all times adhere to the District Moderation Management Plan and avail all evidence of learners’ SBA when requested.

[B] DISTRICT MODERATION 1. Process

a) District moderation of assessment tasks will be conducted by District Subject

Advisors during school visits. b) Moderation by the District Subject Moderators merely supplements the work of the
